I wish there could be a device that can clear the traffic snarls at a touch of a button. But, leaving the fantasy apart, this is a good handy device, but for the steep price. May be with more market, the price may come down to around 10k. For people on the move, this is god send.
Only info which i believe is not available is paid parking areas. May be data from municipalities and corporations may be found wanting.
Combining other utilities like music, movies will help when you are driving down the roads which you know like the back of your hand. i presume, usb slot is there to put in my thumbdrive.
I think it is good/necessary product and i am going to go for one.

yes, 22k is a fair bit of money for the Indian context. People may spend that kind of money for conspicuous consumption but not really for its utilitarian value.

I am sure with time, they’ll bring down the price-point..

This looks cool… and disruptive too !

@Amit - your thoughts on where does this leave the other players in this space like onyomo and routeguru to name a few ?

I think if they could get this gadget’s price at somewhere near 10k, it would definitely be a killer product.
